Thank you for the Q&A reports. You remembered some great things that slipped my mind completely. Happens all too often lately.

Well, yes -- or maybe, I just fought it off more successfully the first couple days. I did try not to make too much physical contact with anybody those days. Wouldn't it be awful to know you gave Alan (or somebody) your nasty cold?

Ain't about you, Jayne. It's about what they need.

Doncoat, I'm enjoying your report! GirleeKaylee = Kazumi just so you know.

Kazumi was the very first browncoat I met on Friday morning. She is the most lovely and elegant woman you'd ever want to meet. Our ticket numbers were only two apart so we saw each other often.

She wore a gorgeous traditional pale-green kimono to the cocktail party and a high slink-factor red dress to the banquet, and the fact that I remember that is evidence for how striking she looked. You may notice I didn't mention anything about the stars' wardrobes

She was also a volunteer helper, keeping things organized in the photo ops lines. I can say that at least somebody was doing a nice job.

Yes, it really is so cool to meet your fellow browncoats!

She was very beautiful the entire time! I think Kazumi and Lauren were the first people I met at the con. We were all so good looking! The staff party was sooo much fun!

Thanks for all your sweet comments Doncoat! Yup, my ticket # was 212, so we got to bond! Yea, I did go to Cocktail party, but Sean, Morena, and Summer left as I was in (damn half an hour) line for a stupid drink.... I sooo wanted to say hi to Sean... Oh well... I did win the best dressor award for the cocktail party though, that's kinda fun!

For a Banquet, I sat with the twins and a writer. I didn't get to chat with any other guests.
But I got to chat with Rafael since I was sitting next to him. He was really nice. It's a shame I don't remember much after 3 martinis...

Anyhow, I'll leave the report part to Doncoat, since he's so fabulous at it!

DonCoat, I don't think we met officially at the con, but I did remember you from asking the question to Summer right after PR, about the River Tam sessions.

I was seat #173, so its too bad we didn't get to chat. Next con for sure! :)

If anyone remembers, I was one of the ones who hung out with PsychicRiver all weekend, Ashley.

Sorry about the late bump, but I was asked about my 'Flanvention I' reports in a different thread and wanted to make this followup easy to find.

The daily reports referred to herein are not, er, *hard to get to*; they're pretty accessible among the archived news items (click Other News in the headlines section).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't disagree on any particular point.
